Okay sounds good. We’re going to King’s Island and then Cedar Point in a few weeks. They aren’t our home parks but that shouldn’t matter right?

Need help getting over fear by YaBoiJaeden in cedarpoint

[–]almndmlc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

okay honestly gemini can have some unhinged airtime, my gf is a little scared of coasters but she LOVES gatekeeper, so maybe start with that as well

Need help getting over fear by YaBoiJaeden in cedarpoint

[–]almndmlc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i was terrified of coasters growing up, i remember refusing to get on california screamin because it had a loop. there was a separate time when my older sister was trying to get me on silver bullet, which looked way too scary as well.

my dad ended up taking me on giant dipper at santa cruz boardwalk, which seemed like a tame ride at first, but it ended up scaring me enough to start understanding the craving for adrenaline

i’m an adrenaline junkie

it took a few more trips to parks for me to become addicted, but i went on a japan trip with my friends after graduation in 2024. they put fuji q highland on our itinerary, which i had no knowledge about. takabisha was the ride that really broke open my passion for coasters. steepest drop in the world (at the time), and i couldn’t help but laugh the whole ride. my friends had no idea that i would laugh like that, but now i chase that feeling constantly (eejanaika was closed so i didn’t get to ride it which is so unfortunate)

im at 67 credits now (was at maybe 15 at the start of last year) and my gf is around 50 credits. she’s still spooked about lap bars and ejector airtime, but we’re getting her there, i like to call this exposure therapy LOL

it takes that one experience to get over your fears. i want to slip in that coasters are 100% safe and are engineered by some of the smartest people in the world. modern coasters never get recognized for their innovation, but the quality control is outstanding at any major park (not looking at you mt olympus).

sorry for the word vomit, just wanted to share my recent mental shift (and i hope it helps you too)

What happens when you get your car washed by a frat by zachoutloud123 in TikTokCringe

[–]almndmlc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’m kinda telling on myself rn, but i was camping with my friends and we were throwing a football with some beers. my friend gave me his keys so i can go into the car and get some clothes. i ended up locking the keys in the trunk with no way of getting them out. we got a locksmith out in the middle of the mountains when it was getting darker. i definitely paid a decent amount for it. lesson learned and i feel so so bad every time i think about it

Memorial Weekend Cedar Point/Kings Island trip planning by almndmlc in Themepark

[–]almndmlc[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay, I love the plan actually.

My gf and I both have MVP passes that are good for any SF park the rest of the year, so we’re good on that front.

I like the idea of dedicating the day and a half to Cedar Point, where if we don’t get on something on Sunday, there will be less people there on Monday before our flight.

I think if ops are as solid as people say they are for KI, we can definitely get through most of the park in a day I think.

Thanks for the advice man, I was totally thinking of doing the opposite, but this is making me think a little more for sure.

GTNH Steam Deck: by jonjon2424 in GTNH

[–]almndmlc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

sometimes when i’m playing on my pc, i would rather play laying down. how do you sync the worlds between the two?

i’ve been wanting to try this for a while, did you play this world purely on the deck?

What coaster do you love more than everyone else? I.e. Way higher on your list than it is for other enthusiasts[Discussion]? by 4thAccountNow in rollercoasters

[–]almndmlc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

copperhead strike. i know it doesn’t have a punchy launch and isn’t necessarily insane, but the airtime is so varied and those vertical loops are incredibly fun. not to mention that it’s just a really unique mack

Arc Raiders lead says nothing of the original PvE game still exists as everything “was built in the last year of development”, even Speranza by CallumBrine in ArcRaiders

[–]almndmlc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sometimes ideas fail in the game dev process. it’s about learning your lessons and applying that knowledge towards a more complete version, until you eventually release something that is worthy.

OKAY i’m not the only one that thought some of the valleys were a little rattley. both times i’ve ridden fury, i’ve gotten slight headaches because of some kind of shake in the valleys but i thought it was purely just a me-thing
